Hi Bernie

I think the solution here is to examine the field codes for your captions. Click on one that works, press Shift-F9 and examine the
code. It should look something like

{ STYLEREF 1 \s }-{SEQ Figure \* ARABIC \s 1}

Now, do the same for one of the problem captions. Can you see any difference? If not, post back, and copy and paste the code within
the brackets into your reply and we'll see what might be the problem.

If you're mucking around trying to make these work, remember that you can't type the {} braces by hand. You must use ctrl-F9 and
type between the braces that Word inserts for you. Once you've typed the field, use F9 to update it, or ctrl-a F9 to update all
fields in the document.

Hope this helps.
